Foth eringham weakens and Ad-
mits That He Stood In With
the Express Robbery,
Upon Promise Of Partial immunity from
Punishment-Jim Cummlngs' Identity.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 26.--1t Ia now stated
that Fotheringham, the express messenger,
who is in jail at st. Louis on suspicion Of
being implicated in the Adams Express
robbery on the st. Louis and San Francisco
railroad October last, disclosed the whole
story upon promise Of partial immunity
from punishment made to him by the
officials. His story was to the effect that
he did not know the actual robbers, or
their whereabouts, but that certain man,
whose name is carefully concealed, no.
gotiated with him plans for the robbery,
which were afterward carried out The
name of this man and q description by
which the detectives were able to identify
him were given by Fotheringham, and
from this the case was worked up and the
man tracked to this city, where he was
arrested Friday night with two others,
who are suspected of being members OF
the gang. The detectives have recovered
but $4,000 of the So, 600 stolen. 1t is likely
the three prisoners will be taken to st.
Louis tomorrow. The protentious air Of
mystery around the Pinkerton head
quarters in Fifth avenue was not lessened
to-day, and the men under arrest for COM
plcity N the Adams Express robbery are
still unknown. That one of them is the
facctious jim Cummings is pretty evident.
That Jim Cummings is not the name of the
man in question is reasonably certain.
There is strong suspicion that Jim Cum
mings' baptismal name was Fred Wit
rosch and his family is an excellent one,
living in Leavenworth, Kan.

NJ Well Organized Committee Of tho
Best Citizens Of Eaton, O.--The Horrible
Murder Of Farmer Christman Avenged.
EATON, o., Dc. 2i.--wm. Musscl, who,
two weeks ago, brutally murdered Daniel
Christman, wealthy old farmer living
near here, and nearly killed his wife, was
tonight lynchod in this town by mob, In
the presence Of almost the entire popula-
ton Of the town and hundreds from neigh
boring country, who came in expecting tho
affair to come of just as 1t did. Mussel
was captured at Greencastle yesterday
and brought here this forenoon.
He was received by mob Of
600 men, who chased the carriage
conveying him to Jail until the officers in
charge drew their revolvers and by hard
work landed him in Jail intact Even then
dash was made for him, but the mob was
second time driven Off. Mussel was
smoking cigar when he got off the train,
but was perfectly paralyzed with fear
when he saw his pursuers and heard their
cries of Lynch him !""Shoot him." ETC.,
howled into his ears, and shook like an asp
en- leaf as he looked into their angry faces.
Tonight regularly organized meeting
was held in the town hall, attended by
leading citizens, and the affair was fully
discussed, with the result that his lynch
to carry out that determination. The meet
ing was not long in session, for its result
was quickly arrived at, and q few minutes
before o'clock a rush was made for the
Jail. The sheriff protested, but it was
only formal protest, and the mob carried
the outer doors with wild hurrah. The
keys were not to be had, but sledges and
cold chisels were speedily put to work on
Musseps cell door, and he was soon
dragged out. A glance sufficed to iden-
tify him, for score of men in the crowd
knew him well. A ready rope was quickly
put about his neck, and scores helped him,
none too gently, out of the Jail and into the
courthouse yard, and across it to the cor
ner, where stands an electric light tower.
Into the glare of that light Mussel was
dragged. Mussel glanced around, and his
face, which had worn defiant look fell.
The leader appointed at the meeting halted
at the light tower. The rope was swung
over convenient beam, and then Mussel
was asked If he had any thing to
say. In frmer voice than could have
been expected he declared he was innocent
of the crime charged against him. He
was not given chance to say much more,
for, eXas perated by the self-apparent lie
of q man on the verge of eternity, the sig
nal wa given, and William Mussel was
swung up between heaven and earth. 1t
was just ten minutes after eight o'clock
After hanging twenty minutes the body
was cut down and handed over to an un-
dertaker. The lynching is generally COM
mended by our best citizens.

BOLD ROBBERY.
A jewelers. Window Smashed In
View OF Large Crowd.
The Spectators Held at nay with Revolt
vers, and six Thousand Dollars worth OF
Goods Carried on.

MfNSEApoLts, MINI, Dec. 22.-About .
o'clock this evening three men drove up In
front OF the large jcwclry store OF j. r.
Elliott, corner OF Nicollet avenue and Third
street. Two of the men jumped from the
sleigh, while the third held the horses.
One of the men carried u heavy stick OF
WOOD with which ho smashed the large
plate glass show-window, in which
were trays Of diamonds, watches, etc,
and hurriedly seized all the available
jewelry and threw IL into the sleigh, while
his accomplices kept the crowd Of people
that swarmcd tho street ut bay with cooked
revolvers. Before any thing could be done
to apprehend them both men had jumped
into the sleigh and driven rapidly up street,
the driver wildly lashing the horses, and
the robbers standing with rcvolvers point
ed at the crowd. They secured between
$1,000 and $1,000 worth OF diamonds
and watches. For boldness and
daring this excels the James
brothers. exploits. The streets were un-
usually crowded, and scores of people were
looking at the display in Elliott's window
at the time of the robbery. Several police
men were within half block of the. scene,
but could not get there in time to appre-
hend the bold thieves. A posse of men have
started after them with fast horses, and
the telephone and telegraph have been
utilized to notify all outlets of the city to
be OH the lookout for them.

STRUGGLING QUAKERS.
Opposition to Shop-Keeping Friends Dnl
Ing tho Soclety's Earliest Days.

Opposition to Shop-Keeping Friends Dur
ing tho society's Earliest Days.
A cause which brought much suffer-
ing on the quiet people must not be
omitted-their founder insisted on the
strictest honesty in all CONNER
cial matters. In the earliest days
if Friend kept shop it was avoided
as if it were II charnel house, and IN
artiticer who professed the same creed
might reckon on being without work
for an indefinite period. Many of these
unhappy people must have been starved
to death had it not been that almost
from its very foundation the sect had
been organized into what can only be
described as huge friendly society.
upon the funds of which any member
could fall back in time of need without
feeling himself an object of char
ity. This, however, did not
always suffice, as numbers
of Puritans refused to sell them food.
and the Friends had frequently to walk
long distances before they could get SOY
much as u loaf for love or money. FoX1
relates that in one goOd-sized town
there was no one who would sell him a
cup of milk, and no innkeeper who
would let him have q bed, SO that he
was compelled to sleep under a hedge,
from whence he was reused in the morn
ing by blows from the amiable inhabi-
tants. But gradually this narrowness
died away, and the masses went to the
other eXtreme-Quaker shops were
crowded, Quaker workmen in demand;
and this is how Fox accounts for the
changes: "When people came to have
experience of Friends honesty and faith
fulness, and found that their yea was
yea and their nay was nay;
that they kept to word in
their dealings and that they would
not cozen, nor cheat them,
but that if they sent It child to their
shops for any thing they were as well
used as if they had gone themselves,
then things altered so that all the in
quiry was where was q, draper, or shop
keeper, or tailor, or shoemaker, or any
other tradesman that wasa Quaker, in
somuch that Friends had more business
than many of their neighbols, and il
there was any trading they had great
part of it. Then the envious professors
altered their note and began to cry out:
If we let these Quakers alone they will
take the trade Of the nation out Of our
hands. This extract illustrates the
two proverbs: "Out of evil good
cometll," and Honesty is the best
policy" while showing, that self-inter
est was cause of considerable part
in the persecution the Friends under
went. BetgraUia.

A delicate though common operation
that has been frequently performed of
late is tho curing Of harelips. The
harelip is when the upper lip ~ divided
from the nose to point in the center
of tho mouth, and is deformity com
mon among infants. The practice in
its cure is to make cut on each side
of the division and then sew the apet
ture up until tho wound grows togeihd
and heals up. A slight seas is left, hut
it Is nothing rs >compared with the
original deformity. Tho delicacy OF
the operation consists IN avoiding the
numerous arteries which form u net
work through the upper lip and which,
1t severed, might cause hermorrhuge,
which might result in death. - Chicago

Makinq Room for Silver Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Dec. pa communication
from the Secretary of the Treasury was to-
day laid before the House. in which he
says the capacity of vaGits already con-
structed for the storage of silver dollars is
now practically exhausted. There is,
therefore, he says, necessity that pro-
vision be made for the storage of silver
dollars at the earliest practicable day.
Estimates are transmitted of the cost of a
storage vault of one hundred million dol
lars capacity within the court yard of the
Treasury building. For q double steel
lined vault the estimates are $lO6,673, and
for simple vault without steel lining they
are SCI, ,S04.

EVANSVILLE, IND, Dec. %. - Journal
special from Paducah, KY, says that the
Rupertus brothers, prominent and well-to-
do farmers of McCracken County, KY, have
been prospecting on their farm for many
weeks past for vein of gold which has
been believed to have existed, and they
have at last been successful in their
search, after boring to depth of eighty
one feet. A company of moneyed men
have been formed, and shaft will be sunk

Ono of the Minneapolis Ninnies Gives UP
His Partridge Diet.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-Ten days before
Mann, the Minneapolis quail eater, started
in on his task to eat thirty birds in thirty
days for bet Of $1,000, Charles Miller
commenced the same business on another
wager. Yesterday Miller attacked his
twenty-eighth bird. He had been com.
planning for the past five days that he
could not sleep at night, and that he
seemed to have a load Of stone on his
breast. He felt well enough when he went
down to his quail, ate little bread and
butter and potatoes and then attacked the
bird. After two bites Miller was taken
violently i'll, vomiting and being utterly
unable to go on with the task. A hack
was sent for and he was taken to doc
tors and from thence to his home. No
serious results are looked for and he will
probably be all right in day or two.
Mann ate his eighteenth quail last night
and is still feeling well.
